EU Postpones Decision on Catalan, Basque, and Galician Language Recognition

The European Union has postponed a decision on whether to officially recognize Catalan, Basque, and Galician languages. The Spanish government had pushed for the inclusion of these regional languages in EU regulations. However, several member states, including Germany and Sweden, expressed concerns, leading to the delay. A journalist from Brussels stated, "The key issue is that they are requesting more information from Spain regarding the legal framework of the proposal." The postponement means the issue will likely be revisited at a future EU council meeting. This decision highlights the ongoing complexities of linguistic diversity within the European Union and the political sensitivities surrounding language recognition.
